In this issue we introduce you to New Mexicans who are cooking up new ways to do more with less, and to make things by hand. We take you to homes, businesses, art projects, gardens, and kitchens where smart and crafty individuals are making the recipes for reclaiming food production and community collaboration. The articles in this issue tell an amazing story of their capacity to produce food for themselves, their friends and neighbors, and their winter larders. We look to the makers—those who have, whether by choice, necessity, or accident, taken it upon themselves to be producers in a consumer driven world—for knowledge, guidance, and inspiration.
